Comments (68)eornato….BAM !! Totally on point !! IN MY OPINION ONLY, remember.....speaking from experience as a former BUYER, I was looking for neat, function, quality and something that had NOT been updated to "trendy standards" since trends come and go and everyone's taste is different..... Your kitchen is gorgeous as it is !! DO NOT paint the cabinets !! What I personally see is a battle going on between "warm" and "cool".....gray does NOT go with "warm wood tones"....paint your walls a warm neutral beige tone to BLEND and COMPLIMENT the lovely backsplash tiles which DO go with your warm wood cabinets....that's a cheap fix !! Next get rid of the "tulip" shades on island lighting...THEY are outdated, NOT the whole light fixtures ( unless you WANT to replace the whole fixture )...another cheap fix !! "Cutesy" valances do not work in a gorgeous kitchen...remove it from over the sink.... In my HUMBLE OPINION ONLY...what your kitchen is LACKING is a "softening" accent color...the black and white checked accessories are just making it all too "cold" looking in an otherwise "warm" kitchen.....pick a SOFT color you like....a sunny yellow or pretty peach would work and accent by using floral arrangement on a counter or in center of island....soft bronze or copper for a tea kettle on stove....a green-leafed plant on a counter....you get the idea...."visually" warm up the room so it looks inviting and not "stark naked"...LOL Also, do you really expect anyone to spend any reasonable amount of time sitting on those uncomfortable-looking stools under the island's counter top???? LOL...pick stools with a soft padded top !! I TOTALLY agree with a previous poster who suggested IF you want to invest $$$ in this home that you will be selling, then upgrade any VITAL areas....perhaps install Generac-style "whole house generator" system so prospective buyers will know they'll be safe if the power goes out...that sort of thing...... Lastly...have PATIENCE....wait....life DOES have a way of throwing curves when we least expect it...your "plan" of selling within "x" amount of years may change in a heartbeat....Best of luck with WHATEVER your life brings in the future !!!...See MoreVeggie Tales ...

Comments (7)Happy new gardening year! It was a green December around here, we only got one snow that lasted a couple days before it was melted off. Rain otherwise. Rather uncanny. But it has turned properly colder now. Got no idea what's going on in the caps, haven't opened them. The rest of the yard looks like it's still sleeping. Been lots of small birds flocking about in the last couple weeks, but there seems to be a bit less ground rodent activity than the usual for now. Sitting on a bunch of wild wintersowing seed since it's been so nice out, so probably won't sow till late this month or into the next. Indoors has been some microgreens and a couple rounds of germination testing. I had some trouble last year with squash and melon and wasn't sure if it was due to the seed. I haven't gotten fresh in a while. So tests before sending off seed orders- just a couple smaller ones this year....See MoreVeggie Tales >>> February 2024
Comments (23)A nice day yesterday to get some gardening going without being too cold or too warm, perfect, no sweat. I prepped the rows for the cabbages, broccoli, carrots, beets, and lettuces. Will start on the pea plot today and begin planting all of these veggies (seeds & transplants) in about 2 weeks or so. Keeping an eye on the long range forecast for any cold snaps but so far any predicted nite temps below freezing are few. Soil moisture is excellent for a very good start and the earthworms were very abundant. Some daffodils are budding up now but thankfully the fruit trees are still dormant except for the early plums being near bud swell, I expect the other trees will wake up next when temps warm up to around 70F this week, but a cool snap after that down into the 30's is expected. I'll get going on prepping the summer crop plots sometime in April....See Morerebasheba
